Taula designer coffee table in natural stone.
A dramatic contrast of solidity and lightness.
The Taula table collection was inspired by the imposing monolithic structures of the same name that are found on the Mediterranean islands of Menorca and Mallorca. Designer Patricia Urquiola has reinterpreted their ancestral might and mysticism in a series of innovative dining tables that exalt the tactility of natural stone. The soft sinuous forms of marble and limestone combine with an ingenious metal support system that creates the effect of a top that seems to float above the legs. This optical illusion, the result of meticulous research conducted by our team into form and perspective, defies our normal perception of stone as a solid, heavy material, making it appear unexpectedly light. The result is a series of six striking and original coffee tables, with round variants in Crema d’Orcia, Pietra d’Avola and a combination of Bianco Carrara with legs in sandblasted Verde Alpi, and rectangular versions in Bianco Carrara, Gris du Marais® and Crema d’Orcia paired with sandblasted Pietra d’Avola.
